    OK, this may sound stupid but I would appreciate any help on this. I have been trying to create some linear and radial gradient colours in Flash 5 but have been finding it incredibly frustrating and the Help files haven’t shed much light on it. Basically I can select a colour OK and add it to my palette but I can’t seem to change the intensity of the colour. Flash 4 had a feature where you could set the percentage of the alpha property of the colour, as well as a fader to determine the depth of the colour. This seems to be missing from Flash 5 and leaves me with a very limited palette. I know this is about as clear as mud, but I would greatly appreciate any help with this,

    TIA

    Hi...

    I think Dom's just trying to find out how to make a gradient that fades in alpha transparency as well as color value...

    In Flash 4, this was all in one place under the Color dialog box...In Flash 5, you need to switch back and forth between the Fill panel and the Mixer panel...

    Hope this helps...

    Hello Dom.
    1) Create your gradient fill.Window/Panels/Fill.
    2) Select your fill on stage.
    3) Open your Mixer panel. Window/Panels/Mixer.
    4) Move the alpha slider to set intensity.

    If you haven,t set up your own panels why not group them together.
    Personally I find it easier to work with.
    1) Open up your Mixer & info panels.
    2) Drag the Swatch tab to the info panel.
    3) Drag the Mixer tab to the info panel.
    4) Then save the panel layout. Window/Save Panel Layout.

    Hope all this helps.
